Uh, Brent? You’re not just a hysterical conservative “in Alterman’s mind.”

I expect him to hire Ace to do future press releases on the subject.

I’m pretty sure that the award for ‘Dumbest Book Of The Year’ has already been decided.

The fact is, Brent is a Heartland Patriot and True American. Obviously his mother knew the secret of parenting, as I did: if you sleep in your son’s bed until he is 23, whispering in his ear and proving again and again that no woman will ever make him feel as good or loved as his mommy, eventually Stockholm Syndrome will take hold and your boy will turn into a quivering blob of reactionary jelly, and attack the only group in the country that would actually accept him for who he is, and therefore turn him against his dear Mommy. It worked on Jonah, beautifully, and I’m glad to see Mrs. Bozell knew how to “raise” (heh heh) her boys right.

Oh, and it’s not child molestation if you’re also a lesbian. So there.

Wait – Brent Bozell reads books?!!?

PS – Please visit my own pathetic little blog. My last two posts were, if you ask me, pretty fucking funny – though maybe not quite S,N!-funny – but still.

I worked last night, and now I gotta go to bed.

I liked the column Bozo wrote saying how much better the Dove Awards were than the Oscars, because best-action-picture-winner National Treasure earned a lot more money than No Country For Old Men.

I really feel sorry for Bozo’s children.

The fact is, here in the heartland we understand that consistency hobgobbles foolish little minds (ie: coastal liberals and other terror lovers) proving once again that Brent Bozell is a true patriot.

Conservatives have minds??

Shorter Gary: The fact is, I nobgobble.

Qualifications seem to be a big deal to Bozell, but he never seems to ridicule those of political celebrity dilettantes like college dropout “entertainer” Rush Limbaugh, college dropout Sean Hannity, putative comedian Dennis Miller, etc.

Since he’s thriving on inaccuracy, Alterman then turned to the old canard that complaints to the FCC are a “right-wing Potemkin production.”

Considering that the F.C.C. itself estimated that in 2003 alone, 99.9 percent of all indecency complaints came from one group: Brent Bozell’s Parents Television Council, I’d say Alterman is correct on this one, eh?

…lesbians “never actually appeared on screen.” A quick YouTube search shows Alterman’s dead wrong there, too.

If Bozo is trolling YouTube for “lesbians on screen” I doubt it was the search that was “quick”.

Isn’t Bozell the flaming a-hole that released all the ghosts from the containment grid in Ghostbusters?

I wonder why such a sizable portion of the wingnut talking-head class resembles TV/movie villains…

[…] over at Sadly, No! thrashes a book review by Brent Bozell, in which Bozell graciously provides an example of How Not […]

Oh my god. I’ve had an epiphany. I think I know Why Wingnuts Won’t Write Right: it’s plausible deniability.

[Long analysis deleted and moved to my own blog.]

Just like intelligent design, Bozell’s hypothesis is framed so incompetently that it can’t be argued against or disproven under any rules of logic and rhetoric. Wingnut writing is just too bad to be shot down.

Is it possible that wingnuts are taught to write this poorly on purpose? Or are they really just that ignorant?

I wish you guys would quit picking on half-wits. He is virtually defenseless to scrutiny.

Movement conservative’s attacks on Hollywood is the most bogus part of the culture war. Hollywood is the greatest propaganda outlet a nation has ever had.
(The Catholic Church, who invented propaganda by the way, must be green with envy.) Even when they’re ostensibly ‘anti-american’. How may vietnamese movies about the Vietnam war have you seen?

I wish you guys would quit picking on half-wits.

Full-wits are few in number at Town Hall.

“Is it possible that wingnuts are taught to write this poorly on purpose? Or are they really just that ignorant?”

Poor writing, and logical/rhetorical skills are probably symptomatic of a combination of “education” that is grounded in “faith” rather than critical thought. Basic argument construction and logical skills are antithetical to supporting positions soley based on faith and predetermined prejudices. Thus wingers are loathe to employ such devices. In fact, I’m pretty sure that it is universally understood among winger “thinkers” that such devices are “elitist,” and inherently “biased” against USA heartland values, and yadda yadda yadda purple monkey telephone.

Why is Brent Bozell?

Isn’t Bozell the flaming a-hole that released all the ghosts from the containment grid in Ghostbusters?

Dr Ray Stantz : Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here.

Walter Peck L. Brent Bozell: They caused an explosion!

Mayor: Is this true?

Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes it’s true. This man has no dick.

To expand on what Legalize said: the same skills that are needed to construct rational and logical arguments are the ones needed to write coherently. In both cases, coherence relies on a logical systematic structure where A leads to B leads to C and so on to a rational conclusion Z.

When A leads to S, and then again to S, and then to H, O, L and irrational conclusion E, you get wingnut logic/writing at its finest.

Brent Bozo: $227k + $17k in bennies, according to the 2006 Form 990.

I think that counts as five-diamond in the Wingnut Welfare Whore’s Club VIP.

(And the MRC’s little helper Tim Graham gets $100k for being professionally outraged at titties.)

How may vietnamese movies about the Vietnam war have you seen?

Can the Vietnamese even make movies? I mean, props to the Chinese for reproducing the kick-ass feeling that martial arts give to the middle schooler in all of us.. Recently they’ve even worked the ancient, beautiful, delicate-flower, beautiful, ornamental, ceremonial, lovely, visually-stunning aspect of Asian culture into cinema. And of course, we all know that the Japanese can make great cartoons and horror flicks, spooky soulless future-children that they are.

But can the… *breaks down and weeps uncontrollably*

I’m Gary Ruppert and the horse you rode in on.

I’m coming for you, Gary.

I’m getting closer….

I wonder if this guy still thinks Joe McCarthy was a great statesman?

The fact is, here in the Heartland hollyweird liberals are considered traitors and more worthless then vermin. Brent Bozell is a true American Patriot for exposing the hollyweird treason lobby as the hypocrits and cretains that they are.

The fact is, when the trumpet is sounded and the Patriots are called to arms, the hollyweird left will be the first to be put in prison camps. We will make those vermin pay for their treason and support of islamofascist terror as is evidenced through their vile filmmaking.

Basic argument construction and logical skills are antithetical to supporting positions soley based on faith and predetermined prejudices

As a product of the wingnut education system, I can vouch for this. Standard practice is to present a student with the “truth”, then ask them to show why it is true. These apologias do not have to be true themselves, merely convincing; the truth is finalized, the rest is just ephemeral commentary on the canon.

Eventually students are also presented with examples of “non-truth” from real textbooks and mainstream media sources, and asked to show why they are not true – meaning why they contradict what has been derived from the Bible. Advanced pupils study the classic rules of logic, but only so that they can play a form of Devil’s Advocate and demolish an argument on its own terms.

Weirdly enough, many of these tactics are a result of changing trends in Missiology. As anthropologists moved toward cultural relativism, missionary schools began to train workers to try to approach Christian doctrine from the viewpoint of their host culture. Instead of saying, “All of your gods are idols and you will burn in Hell if you don’t switch to ours,” they switched to, “Who is your biggest, most important deity? We have a message from him.” Most Evangelical missions organizations have since designated Western Europe as a heathen mission field, and a few have done the same with the US.

Who here pays Gary Ruppert to parody rightwing talking points? Seriously. Is he just here to make everyone else look good by comparison or what?

Not that everyone else needs his contribution. It’s just such as stark contrast that I can’t help but wonder why he would even bother if he weren’t getting paid.

Every time he says a talking point, a peon in the government puts a pellet in his food bowl. Here is Gary at home.

support of islamofascist terror as is evidenced through their vile filmmaking.

somehow I don’t think “American Pie” was made to support islam.

Every time he says a talking point, a peon in the government puts a pellet in his food bowl. Here is Gary at home.

Well, as long as he’s getting something out of the deal, I can avoid pitying him and save my pity for the rest of the world who has to put up with him.

Bitter Scribe: of course he does.

@ slag –

So, does this mean you are not familiar with the Grand Unifying Theory of Guillermo Rupperto?

@ danb –

I must confess my ignorance of said theory. It all makes sense now. Score yet another one for science.

I believe that “Gary” is actually a 10-year-old Mexican boy named Guillermo Ruperto whose family got caught sneaking across the US-Mexico border…

The fact is, I’m almost 12 now, Señor Brad.

However American Wedding totally was

Anything that isn’t exposing the evils of teh islam is distracting us from exposing the evils of teh islam.

I’m for indecency exposing.

Hey Legalize, what do you have against purple monkeys?

The fact is, here in the Heartland we dont take to kindly to you leftwing coastal elitists forcing us to listen to your politically correct homosexual agenda that you shove down our thoats through your hollywood films. Brokeback Mountain was a failure and it bombed at the box office here in the Heartland. In the Heartland we boycott movies on a regular basis do to their leftwing bias.

I’m sorry. There’s no way this isn’t parody. Not buying it. No one (not even a right winger) capitalizes “Heartland” with any level of seriousness. Once we figure out what the name Gary Ruppert is an anagram for, the truth will emerge. Too many secrets.

If Brokeback Mountain failed it is because it was a good wholesome buddy film about two guys who like to cast off their power-hungry, controlling, emasculating wives and go fishing. American values aren’t what they used to be, that’s a fact.

Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope, and Bing Crosby are just lucky that their careers came when they did.

What monarch made Gary a lord?

The fact is, anyone around here who calls themselves a “lord” is just asking to get their ass kicked.

The fact is, here in the Heartland, it is the Muggles and Mud-blood traitors who will pay.

Lord Gary Ruppert = “Truly drag proper”

This sentiment is especially obvious whenever a new anti-war movie comes out (such as the recent Stop-Loss); where complaints about hollywood liberalism are always followed by the observation that many in Hollywood are rich (and therefore have no right to speak out as progressives).

I still don’t understand how this blatant admission that the rich should only be motivated by greed plays so well in the generally poor “heartland”.

As much as I like “Partly Gloppy Turd Roarer” as an anagram for “Lord Gary Ruppert”, it isn’t an anagram. But I’d never suggest that rules be allowed to stand in the way of art.

It’s an anagram of “Gary Ruppert, Parody Troll”. Have to get some extra letters in there to get the really funny stuff out, y’see.

My bad, Robert M. But as I said, even if it wasn’t an anagram for some permutation of Gary Ruppert, it should be, and petty rules shouldn’t get in the way of that.

The Catholic Church, who invented propaganda by the way, must be green with envy.

I think pagan Rome, the Egyptians, the Hebrews, the Chinese and pretty much every other society that existed before 1 AD would like a word about this.

Actually, The catholic church invented the word “propaganda,” in the context congreg?ti? dé prop?gand? fidé “congregation of propagating the faith.”

So he’s not entirely wrong.

Whoops, it’s actually “congregation de propaganda fide.” My bad.

*congregatio = congregation. I suck. 🙁

Does this mean that I can describe the output of Hitchens and Dawkins as contrapaganda?

Hey, Gar, the trumpet already sounded and you’ve been called to arms … so why the fuck aren’t you in Iraq, you cowardly little skink?

Eureker!

In verbal argument, the technique is frequently more in the vein of darting from one subject to the next too quickly to be forced to acknowledge that one’s tailgunner is on fire.

Hollywood is the greatest propaganda outlet a nation has ever had.

I’m a huge Humphrey Bogart fan and I try to catch as many of his movies that I haven’t seen when TCM runs ’em. They recently showed All Through the Night a bit of fluff with him playing a Noo Yawk gangster who foilds a Nazi spy ring (Peter Lorre is his usual great self, too). At one point, he mis-pronounces Dachau and pleads ignorance about what’s going on in Europe. After being exposed to the evils of Nazism, he denounces someone for not fighting for what they believed in. It’s a classic bit of “Isolationism bad, intervention good” that permeates Hollywood movies of the early 40’s.
